    Great recipes i'm not Jewish but love their food

  • Cathie Billings

    I haven't actually tried any of the recipes but thoroughly enjoyed reading through it I was fortunate enough to enjoy some of the Jewish Dairy Restaurants such as Ratners and the food was fabulous as was the service We would travel from NJ to eat there I really enjoyed the stories included in the book I have a Ratners Cookbook plus a few others and have made many of the recipes I look forward to making some of these too

    A loving ode to a disappearing cooking style I am so happy to have so many of these recipes

  • Jack Paine

    I made the potato kugel recipe with terrible results I followed the recipe very carefully Used russet potatoes Used a dozen eggs like recipe states The kugel was horrible It didn't taste like potatoes I also made the shlishkas recipe Now this came out better but I had to throw out the first batch After you make the potato dough you have to boil the pieces The recipe stated let them float to top and cook two minutes I waited two minutes and the shlishkas began to fall apart and were all gummy when taken out So I reduced cooking time to one minute with much better results albeit the seasoning was a little bland but texture was good Mixed feelings about this book although beautiful pictures and stories throughout

    The recipes are great and having grown up in that atmosphere albeit on the other side of the river in NJ this is much than a cookbook to me especially loved memories of the Catskills where my mom and I summered every year until I went off to college the recipes are spot on nothing missing I have uite a few Jewish cookbooks but this is number one for me I highly recommend it
